Day 174: Don't talk Politics!

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have reacted upon hearingGianspeak
about politics in public within which he was expressing his political
view and standpoint and reacted to this information within surprise and
offense, wherein I thought "Doesn't he know he should not talk about politics like that in public - it's not done!!"

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have watched
out carefully and closely after hearing Gian express his political
view/stand point to a stranger within the belief that it is not done --
where I carefully anticipated the other person's reaction within the
belief that the person will act/respond according to my moral code as
'you don't talk about politics in front of strangers' where I exprected
the other person to react within a point of conflict/friction and offense/uncomfortability

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have held my breath within the moment
of the stranger moving her mouth to start forming her response to Gian
having expressed his political view/standpoint within the belief/expectation that she is going to say something displeasing with Gian's comment

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have reacted
in disbelief upon hearing the stranger agree with Gian's comment where I
reacted within "This can't be right, she didn't do what I expected her
to do" and where I was shocked that my belief-system / moral-code had
been wrong / not a 'universal principle'

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself having felt
betrayed by my own belief-system / moral-code when it turned out to not
match reality amd within that I forgive myself that I haven't accepted
and allowed myself to have investigated my belief-system / moral-code in
relation to politics

When and as I see
myself react to someone expressing their political views in public
within the starting point of a belief system of "speaking in public
about one's political views/standpoint is not done' -- I stop and I breathe
-- I see and realise that I am acting upon taught instructions as what
had been given to me by my parents in relation to politics without
finding out / investigating for myself whether these instructions were
real/valid and so I commit myself to stop, breathe and let go of the
reaction/fear and ground myself within my human physical body

When and as I see myself react within anticipation when someone is about
to respond to another having expressed their political views in public,
where I anticipate their reaction to be 'negative' / 'being displeased'
with someone having expressed their political views in public -- I stop
and I breathe -- I see and realise that my belief-system / moral-code
did not match reality and that the outcome of a response towards someone
is not pre-scripted to always be negative as if it is some universal
law, but will depend from person to person and so I commit myself to
stop, breathe, be here and unconditionally embrace the moment no matter
the outcome and trust myself to act within common sense no matter what
comes out of the situation/conversation

When and as I see myself react within 'betrayal' to my belief-system /
moral-code not having played out in reality as to how I believed things
should have played out -- I stop and I breathe -- I see and realise that
I have only betrayed myself within not investigating my own
belief-systems and moral-codes and find out whether they are rooted in
Reality/Common Sense or the realm of Belief, where instead of actively
investigating I had to go through a process
of reaction to be shown where I still require alignment and so I commit
myself to actively engage in investigating my moral-codes and
belief-systems so that I do not have to go through a process of reaction
each time, where I have to wait for an event to happen before I
see/realise that there is a problem to be aligned/work through
